Mr. younus, I am not fond of even Hinduism but why don't you realize the fact that it has survived the onslaught of Semitic religions for nearly 1000 years (nearly 700 years of rule by the Islamic invaders and nearly 200 years of rule by the European Christians and their missionaries)? Still the majority in our Country are "hindus" That itself is proof of the inherent strength of our native culture.
Why do you take pround in the legacy of the invaders? The muslim rulers were also not much better than the politicians we see today. Once having established, they were interested only in amassing wealth, filling up their harems with beautiful women, building monuments, etc. Had they cared for the common muslims, there was no need for "Sachar committee" and things like that.
The world "hindu" is derived from the name of river "Sindhu" and was used by the West Asian traders for describing those lived in the vicinity of that river. What difference it makes whether the name is given by one person (like Islam and Christianity) or by a group of traders?
